Search Tips
Our search has the following Google-type functionality:
+ (addition symbol)
If you use '+' at the start of a word, that word will be present in the search results.
eg. Harry +Potter
Search results will contain 'Potter'.
- (minus symbol)
If you use '-' at the start of a word, that word will be absent in the search results.
eg. Harry -Potter
Search results will not contain 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between 2 words, then both those words will be present in the search results.
eg. Harry AND Potter
Search results will contain both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between 2 words, then either or both of those words will be present in the search results.
eg. 'Harry OR Potter'
Search results will contain just 'Harry', or just 'Potter', or both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, that word will be absent in the search results. (This is the same as using the minus symbol).
eg. 'Harry NOT Potter'
Search results will not contain 'Potter'.
" " (double quotation marks)
If you use double quotation marks around words, those words will be present in that order.
eg. "Harry Potter"
Search results will contain 'Harry Potter', but not 'Potter Harry'.
* (asterisk)
If you use '*' in a word, it performs a wildcard search, as it signifies any number of characters. (Searches cannot start with a wildcard).
eg. 'Pot*er'
Search results will contain words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er', such as 'Potter'.

Our Favourites For This Month!
| Shanghai Baby Wei Hui Dark, edgy, deliciously naughty, an intoxicating cocktail of sex and the search for love. Set in the centuries-old port city of Shanghai, the novel follows the days, and nights, of the irrepressible Coco, who waits tables in a cafe when she meets her first lover, a sensitive artist. But, helpless to stop her gentle lover's descent into addiction, Coco becomes attracted to a Westerner, a rich German businessman with a penchant for seduction. With an entourage of friends ranging from a streetwise madame to a rebellious filmmaker, Coco's forays into in the territory of love and lust cross the borders between two cultures -- awakening her guilt and fears of discovery, yet stimulating her emerging sexual self.
"Banned in it's native China, Shanghai Baby has been infamous for raising eyebrows since it's first printing in 1999 and it is not too hard to see why. But there is more to this story than meets the eye. Shanghai Baby is an interesting character study of a young woman discovering herself in contemporary China."
